Goods came to Spina from all over the Mediterranean. This regular grid of canals generated a Greek-style layout, with standard rectangular blocks, similar to the nearby Etruscan settlements of Marzabotto and Forcello (Mantua), or in the colonies of Magna Graecia. The main arteries consist of wide water channels, bordered by long rows of posts, and perhaps covered by bridges and walkways. Recent surveys have revealed a rational urban standard, with orthogonal axes with north-south orientation. The settlement was founded on several emerging islets, behind the sandy dunes housing the rich necropolis. Despite decades of archaeological excavations, we know only about a small part of the site. The settlement was discovered in the early 1960s, during land reclamation works of the Valli di Comacchio. Founded around 530 BC along an ancient branch of the Po, it prospered for three centuries.Today the archaeological site is about 12 km from the sea, but in ancient times it was located at the mouth of the Delta, at the confluence of one of the Po's main branches and a dense network of secondary Apennine waterways. (For those who don’t, it offers wonderful point-and-shoot ease.) Start sharing photos and videos that amaze.Spina was the most important port and Athens's main partner in the northern Adriatic.

Before I get to some of the shots I’ve taken this week, here’s a rundown of the camera from the official site – It got here in plenty of time for me to have fun shooting the full moon, and even though the past few days have been gloomy, I’ve still been able to get a good feel for how good it really is.
I posted on Monday about the new Nikon camera (nope, not a sponsored post, just a sentimental attachment to the company) my hubby got for me, and I’m happy to report it’s even better than I expected.
